lyrics

i saw you staring
i know you saw
i might just let you be a fly upon my wall
i don’t fear danger
i know your game
i hear your footsteps when i’m walking in the rain

once more

come close

once more

i feel cold when you talk to me
you’re not as clever as you might think

you watched me change in
to something else
in my new form i’m sure you saw parts of yourself
like your obsessions
and your own sin
i bet it angered you to know what you have been

i feel cold when you talk to me
you’re not as special as you might think
but stay with me, honey bee.
there’s still some things that you have not seen.

what...
why....?
where did you get that....
how long have you been inside?
no, stop
you’re getting too close to me
no, stop
what’s it that you’re carrying?
no, stop
you’re starting to scare me
no, stop

as i lay still, they stand silently
now all my fears have come back to me
i saw the end in a thousand dreams
that i forgot before i rose from sleep
remember me, honey bee
as i rest, i will dream of thee

there’s something inside me that fills me with sin
it’s taking me somewhere that i’ve never been
